HOURS OF LABOUR (FIVE-DAY WEEK).

HC Deb 26 March 1936 vol 310 cc1428-9W

Mr. SORENSEN

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has any information as to the number of firms that have established a five-day week and the total number of employés affected?

Mr. E. BROWN

Some information on this subject was published on pages 82–85 of the report of the Chief Inspector of Factories for the year 1934 (Cmd. 4931). I understand that no later statistics are available.
